John McCain is a bit of an odd duck. When he is not yelling at his wife that she is a fucking trollop cuntwhore, he is seething with not-quite-restrained anger at "that one" and pushing ladies into walls and almost punching other old ladies in wheelchairs. WHUT?
Yeah.
But now he is using his fearsome temper for good -- he does that sometimes, like we said, weird guy -- and calling out the Ted Cruzes and their jerkbaby fellow Tea Senators for refusing to do their fucking goddamn shithead asshole trollop cuntwhore fucking jobs.
On one side, Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) insisted that the GOP must block any effort to name a conference committee to reconcile differences between the budgets approved by the Democrat-controlled Senate, which proposes nearly $1 trillion in new taxes over the next decade, and the Republican House, which proposes to eliminate the deficit within 10 years entirely through spending cuts.
What's Paul's and Cruz's big problemo? Well, if they pass a budget, it will have to go to conference with the House, where changes to it will get made.
You remember the House, controlled by Republicans?
Well that is their story -- not that if they actually pass a budget, they won't be able to yell at Obama for not passing a budget anymore -- and they are sticking to it.
On the other side, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine.) questioned that argument, noting that Democrats couldn’t do anything in conference without the approval of the House — which, McCain said, “happens to be a majority of our party.”
“So we don’t trust the majority party on the other side of the [Capitol] to come to conference and not hold to the fiscal discipline that we want to see happen? Isn’t that a little bit bizarre?” McCain said.
McCain and Collins also argued that the stall tactics look ridiculous after months of GOP complaints about the refusal by Senate Democrats to adopt a budget. The first Senate budget in three years won approval 59 days ago, and Republicans have been dragging their feet every since.
“What are we on my side of the aisle doing?” demanded McCain.
Sorry, Senator McCain, had you not met them? Is this in fact the first time you are hearing that nothing is to be passed unless it is a repeal of Obamacare, an abolishment of the IRS, and a government wand in ever benghina?
Good luck trying to talk your intermittent sense through the skulls of these fine fellas. Why don't you just leave your moderate country club Republican thing at the door and join John Boehner in the jacuzzi? We hear the tea water is just fine.

Time to give it up, I guess, like "cellular" phones.
The only hope for the patient is a radical GOPectomy.
